Building committee plans public hearing on proposed swing‑space sites for school renovations
Summary
The district’s building committee and consultants will present three possible "swing‑space" sites — Standish/Stillman area, Keesh/Keisha Farm and the Highcrest area — at a public hearing next Thursday, officials said; swing space would temporarily house students while schools are rebuilt or renovated.
John, a building committee member, told the Board of Education that consultant partner TSKP is moving forward with referendum planning and will present schematic concepts for swing‑space locations at a public hearing next Thursday in the school chamber.
The committee defined "swing space" as temporary school facilities that would house students while their current buildings undergo renovation or reconstruction. The committee identified three parcels under consideration: Standish Park/Stillman area in Old Wethersfield, Keisha Farm and an area near Highcrest. The consultants will present schematic layouts for each site and solicit public feedback, the committee member said.
Board members and staff encouraged residents to attend the hearing, review the site options and provide comment. The committee report did not include cost estimates or a referendum date at the meeting; those project milestones remain part of the consultant's project plan and will be covered in subsequent updates.
